Iglesia de Nuestra Señora de Gracia, Camas, Catholic parish church in Camas, Spain
Iglesia de Nuestra Señora de Gracia is a Catholic parish church in Camas with three naves covered by different types of vaults and a plain facade with two entrances facing Constitution Square. The bell tower sits to the left of the front facade and stands out with its exposed brick construction.
Construction of the current church began in 1723, with works directed by architect Pedro de Silva between 1760 and 1761. These building phases shaped the structure that remains today.
The main altarpiece, created by Francisco de Acosta and Antonio Chamorro in 1800, shows neoclassical features and holds an 18th-century Virgin of Grace. The artworks shape how the interior looks and reflect the artistic movements that were popular in the region at that time.
The building serves as the seat for two brotherhoods and one parish group, offering regular religious services to the local community. Visitors should note the two entrances along the plaza side and take time to explore the interior spaces with their different vault types.
The bell tower catches the eye with its exposed brick construction and geometric patterns, creating a striking feature of the front facade. This unusual placement sets it apart from typical towers that are usually integrated into the main structure.
